So I am pretty sure that I am evil. Why you ask? Well, because I think strange thoughts to comfort myself when I feel down. Thoughts that are usually kind of mean about other people, so that I can feel better about myself. We all do this, right? Right?
Take today for instance. I had a very mean lady call up and act rude and sarcastic to me on the phone. I transferred her where she needed to go, and then she called me again and in a caustic tone said, "Perhaps you didn't understand what I said. Maybe I need TO TALK A LITTLE SLOWER (and talked really slowly as she said this) so that you will understand. I need ext...blaa blaa...and I don't want an answering machine".
I wanted to say, "Oh, no duh lady! I must really be an ignoramus to graduate from college with a 4.0. Maybe you should talk A LITTLE MORE SLOWLY so I can UNDERSTAND!"
But I didn't. During the rest of the conversation she was a jerk; how surprising. Demanding to talk to the CEO, degrading me because I was "just the operator". Lovely lady, really.
So then after I hung up the phone I went looking through her account to see what it had in it. Throughout the time that she has been working with us, she has several different notes in the account about how she has gotten frustrated, not liked someone, hung up on them, or yelled at them. I guess she is just not a happy person.
But this is where my evilness comes in. I am glad that she is not a nice person. I am glad that she is mean to everyone. I am happy about this, because it means that she is never happy. And I don't want mean people to be happy. I want them to be miserable, because they are so mean. I want their lives to be ruined, because they try to go out and ruin other people's lives.
Yeah, saying it out loud really does make it sound evil. Maybe I will try to work on this, so that later, when I am older and more mature, I will want the best for everyone. I will want mean, terrible, caustic, horrible people to be happy. Yeah, maybe.
For now I will just sit and relish the thought of this horrible old woman sitting in her chair making phone calls to people, being mean, and then hanging up and being in a bad mood. By all means, horrible woman, be mad because everyone in the world is "so unfair and rude to you". It's definitely everyone else's fault. Definitely.

I am so glad someone else does this.
Sometimes it's like you read my mind! haha I'm a customer service rep where I work... so basically I get to talk to these kind of people all the time. It's just weird because sometimes it doesn't even bother me when someone is rude. And then other times, it makes me blood boil! I definately hate it when they talk to you like you're an idiot. Sorry you had to deal with such a rude lady! But just know that others feel the same way as you, even though it's probably not the nicest way to think :)
I wish I could reach through the phone and choke people sometimes.
schadenfreude is the best! Sometimes it's the only joy we're allowed in life. When I used to work as a bill collector, I would often encounter these types. I hated it because i would always think of crushing, unbelievably awesome comebacks but always like ten minutes after they hung up on me.
haha oh if you could read some of the thoughts that have gone through my mind the last couple months about some horrible ex-landlords I know of. I was just giddy when I saw they signed their names with a "$" instead of a "&" in one document. How appropriate and I'll stop at that because giddiness will quickly turn to pure spite.
But you're not all evil. At least you didn't say anything mean to that lady, I don't know that I could have resisted.
